Automated Balance of Plant Generation for Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells

  • Automated plant layouts for plants based on hydrogen fuel cells for nonspecific and specific sites using generative geometry (geopandas, shapely).

Technoeconomic Analysis

  • Performed market research on 4 different hydrogen fuel cell technologies and their readiness for deployment in power plants, including contact with Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and a utility customer.
  • Familiarized myself with regulations for hydrogen storage safety.
  • Performed market research on different kinds of electrolyzers and their readiness for large-scale deployment, which resulted in the customers choosing a hydrogen-based solution for their future plant.
  • Conducted a footprint analysis for the conversion of a 340MW gas power plant, to hydrogen. It accounted for fuel cells, power infrastructure, access pathways, and steam methane reformers with hydrogen storage for fuel cells which operate on pure hydrogen to fill the gap until pure hydrogen becomes available.
